Will your bow remain steady?

Genesis 49:22-26 (New International Version, ©2010)

22 “Joseph is a fruitful vine,
a fruitful vine near a spring,
whose branches climb over a wall.[a]
23 With bitterness archers attacked him;
they shot at him with hostility.
24 But his bow remained steady,
his strong arms stayed[b] limber,
because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob,
because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
25 because of your father’s God, who helps you,
because of the Almighty,[c] who blesses you
with blessings of the skies above,
blessings of the deep springs below,
blessings of the breast and womb.
26 Your father’s blessings are greater
than the blessings of the ancient mountains,
than[d] the bounty of the age-old hills.
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,
on the brow of the prince among[e] his brothers.


Dear Warriors,

I can't read these verses without thinking of my dear sons and warriors!  I pray they touch you, give you encouragement and strength.  Your Father's blessings are greater that the blessings of the anciet mountains...they rest on your head, and you are a  prince among your brothers because of the hand of the Mighty One.  Your bow will remain strong and steady because of the Almighty God who helps you. 
Love,

Mom
